The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $111,099 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Montana to conduct a comparative study of the high harmonic generation (HHG) spectra of transition metal compounds. The 3-year project aims to leverage advancements in laser technology to better understand the complex electronic structures and chemical properties of transition metal compounds, which have wide-ranging applications in various industries. Through computational modeling using time-dependent density functional theory, the research will investigate the HHG spectra of several transition metal compounds containing carbonyl, cyanide, and chloride ligands. The analyses will explore how factors like metal properties, ligands, spin states, and coordination geometries influence the HHG spectra. The project also includes educational components to train the next generation of scientists and engage younger students in the community. This work is expected to advance the fundamental understanding of electron dynamics in transition metal compounds and contribute to innovations in chemistry and materials science.
